When planning care for patients on the mental health unit, which statement will the nurse consider as using principles associated with the humanistic theory?
1. Emotional stress has a holistic relationship to physical symptoms.
2. Patients rely on providers to develop solutions for their problems.
3. The mind-body relationship focuses on biological explanations of illness.
4. Clinical interventions are most effective when they focus on the current actions, feelings, and concerns of clients.
Answer: 1
Explanation: Humanistic theory views physical and mental factors as interrelated and recognizes that a change in one may result in a change in another. This holistic perspective is the major concept of the humanistic theory. Principles of this theory stress that people have the power or potential to solve their own problems and are not passive recipients of care given by psychiatric professionals. Individuals are influenced by their past and the full range of life experiences, not simply by the present situation.
